::MEET JESS::
Proprietress
Hiya, my name is Jess and I love yarn! My Nana taught me to knit as a youngster in Oregon, and there was no stopping me after I learned the basics. Ginger Twist Studio opened its doors in June 2013, and was the cutest wee shop! We have since moved to a much bigger space in 2023 to also carry fabric and more haberdashery. I’m very fortunate to have been able to take something I feel so passionate about, and turn it into a career. I love being surrounded by rainbows of natural fibres and working with my hands.
::MEET KATHLEEN::
Operations Manager
Hello! I'm Kathleen - and I genuinely don't remember where or when I started knitting back in Australia, but I've always loved using my hands and creating colourful pieces. By trade I'm a machine knitter, specialising in striking colour and surface pattern combinations, but you can find me a few days a week in the colour haven that is Ginger Twist Studio, where I'm so happy to help you with all your colour choosing needs.
::MEET JESSICA::
Studio Assistant
Hello! I’m Jessica and I’ve been a knitter most of my life - after teaching myself from a book when I was nine. Nearly twenty years later, I’ll happily take any opportunity to talk about beautiful yarn and patterns. Off the shop floor, I spend my time working as a nanny and musical theatre teacher, and also host a knitting podcast over on YouTube.
::MEET KAREN::
Crochet Workshop Tutor
I was taught to crochet when I was 7 years old by my grandmother, and my mum taught me to knit at the same time as I wanted to get my knitting badge at Brownies. Over the years I have found crochet to be calming and restorative. This is why as a Crochet Tutor I feel I’m ‘Unlocking the mysteries and well-being benefits of crochet in a busy world’.
:: MEET JESSICA::
Knitting Tutor
I was taught to knit at a young age by my mum, I picked it back up as a student and got the bug for learning more and more- I have picked up lots of tips and techniques through making countless mistakes and while I am still learning I love to share what i know with other knitters.
::MEET GINGER::
The Original Mascot
Ginger is unfortunately no longer with us, but he was the best cat. xx
